“The research period of a film is the most exciting part of the process, and filming is sometimes a letdown because when you're dealing with biopic material, the real thing is always much more intricate than the story told in the film.” RealSometimesStoriesFilmProcessMaterialsPeriodsResearchExcitingReal ThingsIntricateLetdowns Author:Alessandro Nivola

“Statistically, it would seem improbable that any mathematician or scientist, at the age of 66, would be able through continued research efforts, to add much to his or her previous achievements. However I am still making the effort and it is conceivable that with the gap period of about 25 years of partially deluded thinking providing a sort of vacation my situation may be atypical. Thus I have hopes of being able to achieve something of value through my current studies or with any new ideas that come in the future.” ThinkingYearsMayStillsIdeasSeemsWould BeAgeAbleValuesEffortSituationStudyAchievePeriodsAchievementResearchScientistAddCurrentsGapsVacationProvidingNew IdeasMathematicianImprobableHaving HopeDeluded Author:John Forbes Nash

“After a short period spent in Brussels as a guest of a neurological institute, I returned to Turin on the verge of the invasion of Belgium by the German army, Spring 1940, to join my family. The two alternatives left then to us were either to emigrate to the United States, or to pursue some activity that needed neither support nor connection with the outside Aryan world where we lived. My family chose this second alternative.

Then I gather research for each individual character and analyze the time period with comparisons to the figure and the facial structure. It helps to be comfortable with computers because the massive amount of research is kept electronically and shared with my staff this way. Very little is printed out.
